LOVE....LOVE.....LOVE!

I hope that all of you had a very nice Thanksgiving with your families, friends, acquaintances and such! We had a small Thanksgiving celebration this year, but it was filled with family, so no matter the size of the dinner table, it's just good to be surrounded by those you love ... and who love you back! So, that's what my next post is all about ... LOVE! It's a bit early for Valentine's Day, but I really wanted to share the layout (and kit set) with all of you using our new collection Love Note!

I am a pretty shy person, really, I am  :), and I don't often share a lot of my personal life, but I just LOVE so many things that I had to share this more personal layout today! You'll notice the pictures are not the best {they are from my iphone} ... a bit blurred, but they are some of my all time favorites and I just had to scrap them! That sweet little guy with me is my baby boy, Holden. When he was little we went through loads of worries about his health and had to take him in for tests when he was just a few months old. I was such a stressed out Mommy ... I didn't even really enjoy him being a baby. These pictures were taken on February 14th, 2011 (he was 1 1/2). He was all dressed up in his "I HEART Mommy" shirt, ready for Valentine's Day ... and, he also happened to have a test to be done for a heart murmur ... so, we headed to Primary Children's Medical Center to see the heart doctor on Valentine's day! The reason these pictures mean so much to me, is not that they are so cute (because they are, blurry and all), but because this was the LAST test we had to really go through to say that he was the HEALTHY and HAPPY baby boy we worried about so much! The LOVE of a mother is beyond description and I just LOVE this boy! So, this layout made me so happy to create! I hope you like it!

And, here are 4 cards to go along with this layout for a complete kit that you can recreate with your own stories in mind!











Remind your local store to pick this line up ... it's fun and super traditional for all the things you LOVE!

Two New Releases + Giveaways!

Welcome Winter ... literally! A quick snapshot from my iPhone this morning of my back yard is proof ... SNOW!

Not much here in our neck of the woods, but it still counts, right? Well, the timing was perfect for my {day late} blog post this week! We are super excited to share our good news with you—two new Fancy Pants Designs releases ... Blissful Blizzard and Love Note! Plus, more fun corrugated and glitter papers to coordinate with these lines!

Blissful Blizzard is a gorgeous mix of reds, blues, whites ... and even a touch of silver {glitter paper} that really catches the essence of the winter season! I love the barn doors, the dainty snowflakes and the vintage country chic feel it offers!  

And our Love Note collection is traditional Valentine's Day! It's simple and sweet with a few fun trends mixed in and that's why we love it! And, we hope you'll love it, too!
